Inspired by the Book of Revelation this infamous quartet for piano, violin, cello and clarinet was scored for the instruments played by musicians who were Messiaen's fellow captives in a prisoner-of-war camp in 1941. Created in exceptionally testing conditions, it sums up the composer's experiments and innovations and opened the gates to a new music, and earned the quartet its special place as a masterpiece.
